Works great Great port of a great game. No lag with battle size under 50, crashes are rare and tend to happen 2ish minutes after a battle when they do. Saving after a battle is always a good idea, because loading that save after a crash doesn't make it happen again. Drains battery fairly quickly, but that's to be expected. It still lasts at least a couple of hours from full.

great game I'm playing on a Nvidia shield and having a blast. Game runs perfect. Have never had any crashes. Its fun to pick up and slaughter a few bandits and help smaller villages. Its the feel of a knight, viking, great khan, samurai, ninja, thief, or just a person who f's poo up in the palm of your hand. 10/10 would play again.

Fix crashes and it'll be perfect Some individuals have said the crashing has stopped for them after the newest update, but it hasn't stopped for me. Single player and custom battles work perfectly on my Nvidia Shield. But multiplayer almost always crashes. Fix that and its literally a perfect port. I might even enjoy playing it more on this controller.

Stability still an issue The majority of the reportable crashes have been fixed, but there are still enough non-reportable crashes (flickering screen, controls locking up), that I essentially have to save before and after every battle to prevent losing data.

Better after the latest fix The latest fix appears to have resolved the crashing issues - I can actually equip companions now. This is definitely the deepest and most engrossing Android-based nVidia Shield game I've played so far, and now I can fully enjoy it.

WOW. Hundreds, nay thousands, of hours of gameplay for the cost of a frozen pizza I can't stop playing this game. It is older style graphics probably PS2 grade but smoother. Looks better on my Shield than my PC. More crisp and vibrant on Shield. Raise a small warband and...kill bandits or be one, attack caravans or protect them, herd cattle or steal cattle, win tournaments, court ladies in waiting, be a simple trader, bust a guy from prison, be a king..the game is staggeringly deep. Crashes a lot due to Android RAM management IMO. I restart every hour or so and clear the RAM. Works well

Nvidia SHIELD Can't get enough of this game, on the other hand I cannot stand the consistency of the game crashing. If I'm planning on playing the game for an extended period of time (30 min+) I'm guaranteed at least one crash will occur. Do not buy until another update is applied or I can guarantee you will get frustrated. I'm about to ask for a refund, that frustrated.

Great, could be better. It's not a hit on the game itself, but on the application. A big improvement has been made and lots of bugs have been fixed. The game won't crash when trying to equip gear on comrades. But the game still crashes unexpectedly, not as often.

Brilliant game with kinda awkward menu controls This is exactly the same game you can get on PC except with better gamepad controls. I have it on PC and the controller support is pretty bad, barely being usable (issues like the orders menu and unsheathing weapons being on the same key) but the control scheme on this is pretty good. Such a good choice to port it to Android

If only it worked... The game is awesome, the concept that is. Buggy as hell, extremely frustrating. No auto save? Come on. Bethesda games are as buggy as it gets but that's OK because of auto save. Really bummed about the lack of polish.

Hi Christian. You can enable autosave from the character creation window. Just select "Realistic Mode".

Need to fix bugs I'm pretty much repeating the other's issues. I can't play the tutorial or create a character without the game crashing. The game itself looks like the best android game ever I just can't get into the meat of it so far. I will gladly change my rating to five stars when they fix the crashes. Amazing potential hurt by crashes.

So much potential. I love this game. Sunk hours (days!) into the PC version, was really excited for this one. Plays okay, but lots of crashes- plus sieges are so buggy, it's a game breaker. Nothing more frustrating than crashing during or after a battle. Menu controls aren't optimized for the gamepad- and touch controls are awkward. Hard to recommend in this state to anyone but the diehard Mount & Blade fans.

Waste of money and time on nvidia shield The game runs fine but the controls n the shield are impossible. Horse back might as well just roll over. This game isn't worth a penny. Even if free to play not worth the frustration. You've been warned its horrible gameplay.

Great single player but... Don't even try to play this online. It runs at maybe 15-20 fps and the lag and crashes are ridiculous! This is a great single player game. Very deep and very addicting but don't expect it to be up to par with the PC version as it lags like crazy in 60+ man fights. It also crashes a lot when you are in the character screen and it has a few bugs that force a reboot! Its a shame because it would easily be 5 stars without all the technical issues FIX THIS GAME!!!

Can't play On the Nvidia shield portable when you have to create a character you can not name him. If you attempt to use the keyboard to input a name the keyboard dissapears. Because you need to input a name in order to play this renders the game uses and unplayable.

Didn't think it was possible But the controls are actually fantastic! From horseback, I had no problems eliminating a force of 13 by myself. Textures are low polygon count but by god it is pretty for a handheld. PS2 graphics in my hand? Hell Yea. Detailed and layered RPG system? Check. Regular updates? Check. Love to see their other games ported perhaps to shield.

Great game but one issue The game is super fun and totally worth the money. The controls are just fine. I love the combination of sandbox and RPG. The only issue is that when I try to name my character, the keyboard pops up, but when I try to type, it just selects the button behind the keyboard and closes the keyboard. Fix this and I will gladly rate this five stars.

Awesome port Been playing it all day. So far, it's great. One request: Could you perhaps enable cheats like in the PC version? I snooped around and edited the config file to set cheats to "1" but there's no way to actually use them in game. It'd be nice if we could use them, but still awesome job porting it. :)

Hi Paul, sorry about the inconvenience. We will release another patch next week. In the meantime try deleting your game data and cache from your App Settings. This will delete your save game too though.

Fantastic but still crashes too much The latest update is much more stable than the previous versions. The game itself is fantastic.

cant run on nvidia shield tablet i cant run the game!!! waste my money on that when i open the app into the game the screen will become black and a lots of noise come out and them crash so upset bullshit app

Multiplayer kick, Taleworlds, I have emailed you again and I have still no reply, but I really need this to be fixed as I have really looked forward to playing multiplayer but I have yet not had the chance, please reply to the email.

Playable & Fun but Needs Optimization to be Truly Worthwhile Experience I've been playing for about a week now and its overall a very enjoyable experience! One of the best strategy games on the market for the shield right now, especially when you compare it to all the terrible F2P games taking over the Google play store. Epic as hell when it comes to the battles, even with battle scale at 60 The times i crash is at random points in battles, i cant really pinpoint what it is causing it since so much is happening, and other times when things are even more epic, it doesn't crash at all. Fps dips are pretty bad just for a sec when the battle first starts. fps stays above 25 / 80% of the time, which is totally playable for me on a handheld with this type of game. My shield is Rooted, GPU mode set to "Performance" rather than the default "interactive" & all background process's are turned off That being said the random crashes will start to drive you insane!!! with this type of game and there being no auto-save a crash is pretty discouraging when you loose everything you have earned in the last Hour if U forgot to save. Fix the FPS dips and Crashes and this game is a KING among peasants on the Google Play Store...infinite amount of potential!
